Just a simple note or familiar lyric can fast track you back to that first back seat kiss or first hardwood floor dance. Songs create life long memories. What if you could hear it from the creator and learn the inspiration that brought the song to existence? Find out or meet who the song was written about or for. The St. Augustine Songwriters Festival will feature today’s hottest hit songwriters from Nashville, Tennessee, legends of yesterday and the shining stars of tomorrow. All at the fantastic stages scattered about the beautiful town of St. Augustine. – St. Augustine Songwriters Festival
